Without AI, science had its share of tons of problems, confirmation bias being one of the most innocent nowadays. Now with AI, it is ascending to something else entirely. Hopefully some people come up with AI based solutions on how to filter through the AI garbage.

The Science:
/s …kinda. AI is going to make so many things very hard to trust at first glance and it will cause chaos in all kinds of technical fields.

You are not wrong that AI is a whole new level of misinformation. But trusting the science never was a “trust any published paper” it is about trusting scientific consensus. And yeah, if there is a scientific consensus based on multiple papers and peer reviews, it is almost certainly going to be more trustworthy than your opinion/online search/intuition
Trust the science is still true, even in the face of AI, you just need to differentiate between trust scientists and trust scientific consensus.
